Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: A Comprehensive Guide

Abstract

Chronic intractable medial knee and/or foot/ankle pain recalcitrant to conservative treatment options may be considered for peripheral nerve stimulation of the saphenous nerve. The saphenous nerve can be targeted either above the knee within the adductor canal or below the knee in the anterior leg where the nerve is superficial. Ultrasound guidance allows safe deployment and implantation of the percutaneous electrode array lead within the adductor canal without injuring critical blood vessels.
